Reflection of the December 7th class

During this class we learned about online diagnosis's. An online diagnosis usually involves a questionnaire in which the patient answers personal questions about their illness. An advantage of this is that it saves time because patients don't have to leave their house. However a disadvantage is that they are relying too much on computers to make a diagnosis and their could be an error in the system that will then create an incorrect diagnosis.
Issues of this would be reliability (if the system has an error then the diagnosis will be incorrect), integrity ( people may alter data) and security (peoples private information are on these sites, so they need to protected).
